Chiellini before he became CB as a youngster was terrible as LB, I used as did many else bang my head watching trying to control any ball and fail all the time. He grew alot being moved centrally, if he had remained LB he would have been sold. Many here preferred Balzaretti in Serie B season, says enough.

ahh yes, because in 2003-2006 before the popularity of and availability of multi cast and streaming and youtube

I somehow want to disagree with Molinaro comparison though. Chiellini became a beast at CB and never looked back since, but calling a LB Molinaro level is quite an insult, not sure Giorgio deserves that

That was deliberate hyperbole to hit home Chiellinis inadequacy there.

Even worse was when isolated 1 o 1 in defending in the flank, he was much more exposed. Any speedy tricky player used to $#@! him too often out there. He became a beast with the positional and tactical system of CB, but as LB horrible offensively and clumsy defensively when left too alone with quicker players.
